Ok that's great, but what are we doing at govt level to stop the erosion of trans rights and increasing violent homophobic attacks? We've slipped from 1st in Europe to 21st. Alarm bells should be ringing.

New Suicide Data Shows Disproportionate Risk for LGBTQ+ Children in England Newly released data highlights a significant disparity in child suicide deaths affecting LGBTQ+ young people in England and raises questions about how policy decisions impact child safety and wellbeing. Figures obtained by QueerAF through a Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database show that between April 2019 and March 2025, 647 children in England died by suicide. Of those children, 107 were identified as LGBTQ+ and 46 were identified as transgender. This means approximately 16.5 percent of the children who died by suicide during that period were LGBTQ+ and approximately 7.1 percent were transgender. These proportions are significantly higher than estimates of LGBTQ+ representation in the general child population, indicating a disproportionate impact. Preventable deaths campaigner Lucy Brisbane said that every preventable death of a child is unacceptable and that understanding contributing factors is essential to reducing risk. She stated that protecting all children, including trans children, requires removing political considerations from policymaking and focusing on evidence-based prevention. Research and clinical reporting consistently link elevated suicide risk among LGBTQ+ children to external factors rather than identity itself. These factors include bullying in school environments, family rejection, social isolation, exposure to stigma and hostility in public discourse, and coercive practices such as conversion therapy. The data does not suggest inevitability. Instead, it identifies conditions that can be changed. Evidence shows that safer school environments, supportive families, access to appropriate healthcare, and policies grounded in established research are associated with improved mental health outcomes for LGBTQ+ young people. Gay, lesbian, and transgender adults were once children. The outcomes reflected in this data arise from experiences during childhood and adolescence rather than from identity alone. Early environments play a critical role in shaping long-term wellbeing. The policy question raised by this data is direct. Should systems prioritise support, acceptance, and safety for children as they are, or should they maintain conditions that evidence shows increase the risk of harm and death. Any comments on this? @roisinmurphy @jk_rowling thepinknews.com/2026/02/02/tra…

God the anti trans bunch are an unpleasant little pose, one mention of LGBTQ+ and they loose the plot. Who looks at pictures of gay men being tortured in Indonesia and thinks “let’s make a point about trans people”? 🤮
